Beam ABCD represents a reinforced-concrete foundation beam that supports a uniform load of intensity q1 = 3500 lb/ft (see figure). Assume that the soil pressure on the underside of the beam is uniformly distributed with intensity q2.
(a) Find the shear force VB and bending moment MB at point B.
(b) Find the shear force Vm and bending moment Mm at the midpoint of the beam
